Well my kitchen is a Galley Kitchen style ..and it's right here in my house..it simply means a long kitchen rather than square, as we have also ( only smaller) on our narrowboat....
Perfectly good at wrapping parcels... agony now though to get down on the floor to do it as I once did...
yes and no ...it's more that I've owned it for most of my life, but only lived in it half..because I lived abroad for many years while still owning this house..
My in-laws passed before I knew them ( second marriage) ..and my daughter isn't married.. hardly ever see my siblings partners because they're all scattered to the wind...
